Looks awsome!

*If its not a trade secret, what did you use for the clear slime hose going to the thrower?

CaptCyan · **Posted:** May 17th, 2012, 5:28 pm

Not a trade secret, but it did take me awhile to find the stuff. It's Necklace Tubing used for Pony Beads. I found it in an A.C.Moore Craft Store.

Not if I can help it. The tutorial will show you everything, including how to paint. Besides, what do you think that Blue Tape is for ? :wink:

That thrower is just amazing Capt! The paint being applied just takes it to a whole other level! Keep up the great work!!

spiff · **Posted:** May 18th, 2012, 7:19 pm

I can't help but smile every time I see that thrower.

Yeah, paint makes a big difference but I really think the Decals are what kicks it, the Slime Muzzle Holes in particular.

Mereel · **Posted:** May 19th, 2012, 10:36 am

You're right about the muzzle tip decals though, they look great and look a lot better than anything raised would have. Also really like the new, clear slime tank on top of the pack.

The whole thing, very very cool!

egie · **Posted:** May 19th, 2012, 1:21 pm

Purely amazing.

Hey Gang!

Sorry I haven't posted anything here for awhile. Truth is, there wasn't much interesting to post. Still working on some of the parts, but I can show you what the kit will look like (almost) when you get it.

I'll have some of the parts grouped together in plastic bags to make identification a bit easier. The Parts List will also come along with it so you can check to make sure I didn't leave anything out.

THE ROOKIE PARTS LIST

Decals 2
Stand 1
Flashlight 1
Radio 1
Lifeguard 1
Double Ion Arm 1
Crankbox cover 1
Side power lights 1
Slime tube & wire 1
Red wire 1
Green wire 1
Blue wire 1
Trap parts 2

BAG A
Jumper clamps 2
Wire connectors 2
Box ‘n’ bulb 1
Conduit 1 not shown
Silver Wire & Vacuum Tube 1

BAG B
Reservoir acrylic 1
Bottom ring 1
Coupler 1
Top ring 1
Cap 1

BAG C
Slime Tank 1
Control box 1
Pack coupler 1
Conduit 1 not shown

BAG D
Box extension 1
Base plate 1
Drum 1
Grip 1
Slime barrel 1
Barrel bottom 1
Acrylic top 1
Acrylic joiner 1
Barrel end 1
Coupling 1
Wire taps 2

I still have to cut and shape the Conduit pieces...

...and drill out holes for the wire in the Box Extension, Drum, and Slime Barrel. I did leave you all some sanding to do. :lol:

Once that's all done, I'll be ready to pack 'em up and pm all of you who are on the list for payment.

Looking great Cap't. I know that I certainly don't mind the wait. This is going to be awesome.

rahum · **Posted:** June 12th, 2012, 5:31 pm

Love it Capt! Take all the time you need, I trust you!!!

Mereel · **Posted:** June 12th, 2012, 8:19 pm

Man, the work going into these kits is just nuts! There's no doubt the wait till be worth it, and what helps is seeing these awesome photo breaks:)

I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying your efforts are appreciated Capt! Your a weapon!

spiff · **Posted:** June 18th, 2012, 8:47 pm

That is an epic kit Capt. The extra time really shows in all those pieces

CaptCyan · **Posted:** June 19th, 2012, 1:00 pm

I know it's gonna show in everybodys finished figures.

CaptCyan · **Posted:** June 22nd, 2012, 6:31 am

"What the hell are you doin'?"

In case you were wondering.

I'm guessing most of you don't have a Push Drill and a 1/64 Drill Bit kicking around your Tool Box, so I'm drilling 10 tiny holes for the Wires and stuffing the Double Ion Rods into the Arms. Got about 9 sets drilled out sofar.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Once everything is drilled, I'll only have to bend the Wire Conduit parts and pack them up.

GhstbstrLMLIII · **Posted:** June 22nd, 2012, 9:11 am

Holy Cow Capt! As if you hadn't already gone above and beyond on this project!! I can't begin to tell you how appreciated this is.

No worries Brandan, myself and I'm sure others will do some tutorials for the set to help guide you along and give you some advice to keep you on the right track.
